It is fully supported under Ubuntu / Kubuntu and I have never had a problem with any of it's functionality. Connectivity wise, it is USB only - it is a printer, copier, scanner - no fax. There is a bigger, wireless model : the HP Photosmart C6180 - Wireless Printer, Scanner, Copier & Fax. I have not tried this myself so, you would need to check compatibility. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
